True, but I put the blame on the insurance companies themselves.

Go back to the '50s, and insurance was only for huge problems.  Regular doctor visits and stuff were inexpensive and easy to afford out of pocket.  

One day, the insurance companies got the bright idea to reduce their expenditures on emergencies by encouraging people to go to their regular doctor more often.  The incentive:  Insurance would pay for it!  Let that go on for a generation or two and now we have an entire culture that find the notion of simply paying for a doctor visit to be alien to us.

Yes.  This is very very true.  They called it Preventative Care.

Yep, and it's amazing how used to it we are.  It's to the point where even a $5 pack of birth control pills is expected to be covered.

And when the right says "We need to censor heavy metal lyrics in order to save our kids!" It's also total garbage. 

No, that is actually part of the Constitution. It's true.  Trust me.  It has to be.  I mean, just look at people who still listen to Van Halen.

My good friend and I agree on music 90% of the time. The thing we disagree on most vehemently? Van Halen vs Van Hagar.

Oh boy.  You've just outed me.  I'm a bit older and didn't even know Van Hagar existed.

I'm a heretic who likes both Sammy and David.  Just as long as it's Van Halen I'm in.

That's like rooting for the Yankees and the Red Sox.  

You shame me.

Oh I'm sorry. My bad. Let me rephrase that. 

Any Van Halen Roth song vs Right Now. 

There. How is that?

Brutal.  That's how it is.  BRUTAL!

I was gonna come back with Just Like Paradise... but it seems that wasn't Van Halen, just Roth.  

I know it's bad Internet protocol but...

...I concede.
